30 ft NEWPORT SLOOP 1975 .. Price Reduced , MEDICAL Reasons , I must sell this very sound Sail Boat, See Craigs List, Port Townsend , Wa. .. I live in Tulsa Okla. Have sailed one sail boat or another out of Port Townsend for thirtyfive/fourty years.. Escaping work for weeks time spent extended vacation up North in the Summers. I purchased this 30 ft Newport, what I knew to be Sound/Solid sail boat for this summer and our future . Intended to and did sail her Noth from Brownsville marina to my second home, Port Townsend last week. We had a few things remaining to complete our goals for our, new to us, terrific Sailboat, (not much) .. when lousy health news said I wouldn't be able to continue these trips. .. but we did need to check all the boxes and sail her North to a permanent slip in Port Townsend. see Craigs List, Port Townsend. She's not perfect, but in terrific, sound condition. many, many photographs. all taken in the last month (September),, after learning I would have to sell her. (please note; outboard pictured in cockpit is a Spare 9.9 , was only in need of a cab kit as pictured in boat when I located an excellent Electrisc start as pictured installed on transon) .. Am willing to take much less than I know she's worth. It's a great boat , in terrific, stand up condition and Clean inside and out, I sailed us North , Slipping over in at Port Ludlow for a night and sailing on to P.T. next day, a few weeks back. Slipped now in P.T's. Main Marina. the 9.9 Yamaha Elect start kicker starts at touch of button (runs perfect) . the 3.3 Merc on dingy is a two stroke pull start, and starts/runs great. The autofurler up front deployed well for our trip North, and stuck on rewind as I've seen happen before. I've aways hated the things (autofutlers) and would suggest pull autofurler off the forestay, and put on either the great Lapper or the Jenny,, pictured bagged in the galley with the Spinnaker and the spare Main. .. Before our trip we fully cleaned the hull/topsides and inside.. (the bottom I paid to have pressure washed in the water last summer). I installed a new depth gage , confirmed running lights working as needed using both Garmin GPS , we headed North below Agate Pass bridge.. .. I have reduced the price, and is at this time, still negotiable.. Motor (Diesel) Kabota/Universal .. I assume I got air in fresh diesel lines when I installed new Injectors..and fuel pump .... dingy is clean and paintered to aft of boat. some items not perfect, headed home (fly) to airport, ride with brother, I was marking all wiring inside 12 v switch panel, some white tape turned up on forestep, ..the head: 'Lectra San' unit is ancient and useless, the (blue) head holding tank (holding only, and is a wide spot in the line) with Head lined up to thry-hull. Diesel tank I did suck out empty, added four gallon back and sucked that out(clean). Halyards are old but solid (hundreds of feet of spare, real line, is in Galley as pictured), the half inch Gold Line (150'+- rhode) is good and anchor is special (see pic), galley is terrific, table converts, the three burner stove was converted long ago to propane as is the grill in the cockpit. there is a beautiful (as is all the wood in this boat) folding Cockpit table (pictured) and Main Galley table drops and folds for additional, I assume, bunk space and an Autohelm as pictured... the insides and out are as pictured, not all items are perfect, some we did not have time or use for and may be untried. .. this is an obviously well cared for boat, worth considerably more than my personal health reasons dictate, A well known maker with a solid history, and is in terrific condition for it's age. boat is locked till I return (flying from home in Tulsa), to meet with buyer on date/price we agree to. .. I treat persons with respect, and will look for the same. I will try to answer questions from Serious persons who understand the subject and are Serious about purchasing our sailboat. thank you for your time spent with my posting and this boat ..that I am forced by health to sell.
